How is Abilene going to be fixed for
fairs after this, now her grounds are
gone? Can anyone tell? Have we got
to go to Hope to ''see the elephant?"
Poor Salina, what hard fateis hers.
Her people can't support morning
journal; there is not enterprise enough
among her business men to keep her
board of trade in existence, and even
the circus passes it by on the other
side. To add insult to injury, Solo
mon nine went up yesterday, and beat
her club by a score of 6 to 3. Poor

Frank Habel was the subject handled
by the street phrenelogist last evening.
We think the latter must be little off
as regards the degree of combativeness
possessed by Frank. If Frank ever
runs up against certain young man
who has left for parts unknown, there
won't be much doubt but what his
bump of combativeness will show itself
to be fully developed.

A THIEF.

Sarah Bamhardt has recently been playing
on the Pacific coast.
With its usual enterprise the San Francisco
Examiner paid her round sum for special
article; she wrote for them an essay on
"Death" which was printed in the Erassis<,
over two weeks ago.
The Denver daily Republican of Tuesday,
May 81 printed that article loaded and un-
credited; besides this with brazen efronte-
ry at which pickpocket would blush, it CALL
ed editorial attention to the article in such
terms as would convey to any uniformed
reader the clear impression that the article
was especially written for the Rspsdhess.
Judged by all the canons that govern de-
cent journalists the editor Of the Republican
proves himself to his whole craft literary
liar. thief and prostitute.
In insinuating that this stolen article was
lawfully come by, he has dishonored the
whole journalistic profession and from their
company should be drummed out as trollop
and a trull.

self.
Its name and that Of LAWRENCE. GRoN-
LuND our leading American writer, have been
dragged through the slums (called the COL
umns) Of the Denver Mtus and Republican.
A week ago the Republican announced and
advertised a special article on European So
cialism by LAWRENCE GRoNLUND. On Sun
day it published it, loaded and uncredited, as
special contribution. The article was stolen
bodily from New York journal and was
never written at all for the Denver cess pool.
On Sunday last the Denver Mas repub-
lished the same article altering its heading
and suppressing the name of its author en-
tirely!
In the same issue Of the Mesos appeared un-
credited and as original an article on the An,
archists stolen from the Chicago Star and
tackled onto the end oftwe seven proposed
DEGREES stolen bodily from the San Francisco
Monthly TRUTH Of November, 1854, page
379, prefaced by the infamously false and ly-
ing statement that these "decrees" had been
prepared by the Anarchists of Chicago and
were to be Immediately enforced"
Now even hog ought to know that it is a
crime to steal without credit, literary work
that other journals have paid for: that it is a
double crime to claim it as something that you
have paid for; but that it is an INFAMY to
steal and lay claim to and as we'll to ALTER
and CHANGE the work thus flched.
These things both the M7os and Republican
have done. =
In the name Of honest journalism impeach
them before all honest men who WELD the
pen in these United States as journalistic ras-
calls, thieves and forgers.
let public reprobation lash them for their
crimes against Common honor, in their only
sensitive spot,-their pocket.
Better that Denver had no daily press at all
than to enjoy in the eyes Of journalists ofevery
other city, the reputation Of being the harbor-
ing place Of bastard black.leg press that
lies daily, steals nightly, suppresses hourly,
and with the two arms of forgery and false
hood steals from its subscribers and advertis-
ers alike the plunder Of shameful prosttu-
tion

Another Liar.

Kansas can boast of as deep-dyed rot in
the line of lcapitalistic dailies as any State
in the Union. The Topeka Common realh
would settle the whole Socialistic question
by authorizing the Government agents to
pick up any Anarchistic, Communistic or
Socialistic agitator and ship him back to
his own country on sight. The editor of
this same Commonwealth, was scared half
out of his wits few years ago by the So
cialistic agitation in Topeka. He knows
all the leaders in that movement there
and many of the rank and file and he
knows them to have been all Americans.
He can scarcely find a foreigner in the
Socialistic ranks in Kansas. His lying
insinuation is to please the moral and
"better lements." H. c. vRooMAN

Falsehood is but a coming Ntruth. Truth

Each number OF our paper will indicate our
opinion for that day. Labor is noble and holy,
especially holy. We are therefore in favor Of
well dressed mobiles and holy poor.
Shame be to those who desert their flag, for
it would be comparatively easy matter for
